So at work, I'm known for dressing up in full rain gear most of the time, including the blinding yellow jacket, hoodie and knee-high boots which make it impossible to walk much faster than a turtle.

But anyway, I've earned the nickname of Long John Silver, as a result of this. I argue that I prefer Captain Gorton, in response to which I receive blank stares.

A majority of my coworkers are African-Americans in their 20s from the Newark, NJ area, and I find it hard to believe that they are not only unaware of Gorton's fish sticks, but that they also seem to miss this obvious reference to the song Black Jesus from Ghostface Killah's classic 1996 album, Ironman.

In the first case, I now feel I have to investigate the Fine Fare grocery store a few blocks down on Front Street at Susquehanna (seen multiple times in background scenes of the film Rocky V, it's an actual inner city grocery store here in my neighborhood which still exists) to determine as to whether Gorton's fish sticks still exist.

In the latter case, damn. I feel old.

What the hell do these kids listen to these days?! How are they not fluent in the language of the Wu and Tony Stark(s)?!

Jay, how do I sign in on that site of yours !! That person is a screw ball. How can she/he be 'half a Jew?"She/he says her/his father was Jewish but not her mother. Therefore she/he is not halachically Jewish.

It's probably best to just stay away from that site, to be honest. I never should have gone back there myself. It's one of the leading 'progressive' blogs in the US when it comes to mainstreaming antisemitism. I went back tonight just to play around with the first idiot I found, and inadvertently ended up providing what I feel to be a very nice demonstration thread on how to deal with them. ;)

I could have said much more, but then I would have opened myself up to banning and having my comments 'hidden.' As it was, I just ended up beating him senseless with one hand tied behind my back the whole time.

The Fundamental Argument:

The progressive movement, and the activist base of the Democratic Party, creates and supports venues that demonize and defame the Jewish state, thereby also creating hatred toward the Jewish people.

Such venues include political journals, such as, but not limited to, Daily Kos, the Huffington Post, and the UK Guardian, numerous universities throughout the United States and Europe, various NGOs with an anti-Israel agenda, and the entire progressive-left movement to boycott, divest from, and sanction (BDS) the Jewish people of the state of Israel.

These venues and organizations do not generally criticize Israel, but dehumanize that country.

For this reason, among others, the progressive movement, and the activist base of the Democratic Party, undermines the well-being and safety of Jews around the world, sometimes resulting in violence toward us.

Therefore, as a matter of common sense and basic human decency, Jews should leave the progressive movement and the Democratic Party as we seek to build alternative political structures that are not home to toxic anti-Semitic anti-Zionists, who would see us robbed of self-determination and self-defense.

What You Can't Discuss:

This is a partial list of taboo topics within progressive-left venues around the Arab-Israel conflict. You cannot discuss this material because it undermines the "Palestinian narrative" of perpetual victimhood. This narrative is a club used by the Arab and Muslim enemies of Israel, along with their western progressive allies, to delegitimize that country in preparation for its eventual dissolution.

1) The centuries of Jewish dhimmitude under the boot of Islamic imperialism.

2) The recent construction of Palestinian identity, its connection to Soviet Cold War politics, and how this is an Arab people with a Roman name that refers to Greeks.

3) Arab and Palestinian Koranically-based racism as the fundamental source of the conflict.

4) The ways in which contemporary progressive anti-Zionism serves as a cloak for gross anti-Semitism.

5) The Palestinian theft and appropriation of Jewish history.

6) "Pallywood."

7) The historical connections between the Nazis, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Palestinian national movement.

8) The perpetual refusal of the Palestinian-Arabs to accept a state for themselves in peace next to the Jewish one.

9) The progressive portrayal of terrorists as those fighting a righteous war of "resistance."

10) The Arab-Palestinian indoctrination of children with Jew hatred.

11) Human rights violations against women, children, and Gay people in the Muslim Middle East.

12) The fact that violent Jihadis call themselves "Jihadis" and claim to love death above life.

This is only a partial list, so please let us know the many more that we are missing.

Barack Obama on the so-called "Arab Spring" (May 19, 2011):

"There are times in the course of history when the actions of ordinary citizens spark movements for change because they speak to a longing for freedom that has been building up for years. In America, think of the defiance of those patriots in Boston who refused to pay taxes to a King, or the dignity of Rosa Parks as she sat courageously in her seat."

The "Arab Spring" is the rise of radical Islam in the Middle East and this is what Obama compares the Civil Rights Movement to? How's that for a kick in the head to Martin Luther King, Jr.?
